"you're guaranteed one of your selected roles this game because you recently filled or played support."
i mean... aren't we guaranteed one of our two selected roles fucking regardless? i don't even understand the point of this

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Here you can see the most pointless reply in the world! The good sir could of course have explained how autofill works instead of nitpicking, BUT NO!
Anyway. You are NOT guaranteed one of your roles if you don't have autofill protected. Sometimes it will give you a role you haven't selected.
Valexfor2 votesIt means that, for that game, you can't be autofilled since autofill is a thing. You are not guaranteed one of your roles 100% of the times so if you play support or get auto-filled you get a game where you will be guaranteed 100% on of your two selected roles. If you mean that autofill it's stupid... can't say much on it, it's necessary since there is a huge role disparity (almost no one wants to play support while a lot of people like mid and jungle) so you either get auto-filled (so that a team can be made) or you wait for an hour every time you want to play a game and you're not a support...

oh that's retarded. i thought you were guaranteed one of your selected roles 100% of the time anyways
Valexfor1 votesMost of the times you are supposed to get it, but like I said: if your role is not free (so the game doesn't find enough people to make a team) someone will get auto-filled in one of the roles the game can't find, ensuring this way that you don't wait for an hour before you can start a game. It's not really the best, but since usually there is a huge difference in role population it's necessary... as a support main I don't get auto-filled because it's easy to find my primary role so the chances that both of my roles are "unavailable" is low, but I can understand that some people don't like to get auto-filled.
khorney1 votesnobody likes to supp your safe there guy
Mysticman891 votes(Playing support also gives you autofill immunity anyway, so even if the stars aligned and their was a surplus of supports and whatever off-role, we as support mains couldn't actually be autofilled and actually would be stuck waiting for an hour for people to want other roles. Of course in practice, support is always in demand, so that's not an issue, and is indeed why playing support gives autofill immunity, but in principle we wouldn't get autofilled even if the support role was unavailable.)
Valexfor1 votesyeah, first time I saw that I was "wtf? when did I get autofilled?" then I realized this xD Support rules! (well, in reality it just sucks THAT much...)
bad arcade kitty1 votesoh that's retarded. i thought you were guaranteed one of your selected roles 100% of the time anyways
no, it is not on the slower queues like in normal draft or high elo
just today i had a guy who was auto-filled as a support when he queued for top/jungle or something, he took smite on blitz, stole my first red, fed bot several kills, then when i took a dragon and was out of smite he stole my another red, and also refused to surrender thinking he is trolling me when i meantime voted against surrender too. we won it :3
frankly i liked the old system more, as soon as people respected the pick order (and pre-mades weren't given the top picks all the time) it was fine
khorney1 votesautofill is stupid so far bot and fill and get sup the whole time

Because fill means "place me in the first role available" so since support is in such high demand, your secondary role (fill) will always be found before your first choice (adc in this case). Also, autofill and full have nothing to do with each other.
Leafy1 votesIf support is such a high demand role, why do I keep getting everything but Support? I want to support. I'm a support player. Do I get it? Nope. Jungle mostly.
Mysticman891 votes"Autofill" is a thing that exists separate to fill, which is enabled when projected queue times are too long. For big regions (e.g. NA) at most hours of the day at most elos, this isn't something that actually comes into play. However, for some elos (usually extremely high or extremely low) or at quiet hours of the day, the projected queue times can be quite long, and so autofill is enbabled, which means anyone without autofill protection can be given any role, not just one of the two they selected. This results in somewhat faster games and prevents people from potentially being in queue for literal hours, but can be somewhat unpleasant for those who get a role they haven't practiced in some time.
edit: You are warned when autofill is enabled though, so people always know in advance that it's a thing. If you've never had the warning come up, it's likely autofill isn't something likely to come up for your particular role preferences/elo/time of day, and so you would be guaranteed one of your two selected roles regardless.
khorney1 votesyou mean your garunteed to supp nonstop
IGotSuspendedOOF1 votesthis autofill protection thing is absolute shit... I qued up with top and mid and the game gave me support im like fuck my life and then somebody left and then i started another game only to see that the game picked me adc then i dodge i start another game and it gives me support now i need to wait 15 minutes just to play 1 single game because riot cant fkn fix the shit with autofill protection
